Comparativa coches con turbo: Alpine A610 vs Porsche 911

Este año estoy haciendo muchos planes para conocer sitios nuevos y seguro que vosotros también, para todos nosotros que nos encanta ir de aquí pa allá, una escapada, una quedada con amigos, pues ya sabes que BP Ultimate puede llevarte hasta 840km más lejos al año. Me he propuesto viajar más, recorrer carreteras poco conocidas, descubrir pueblos con encanto, paisajes, personajes, todo esto se ha convertido en mi mayor afición y os digo una cosa BP es mi mejor aliado. Porque repostando BP Ultimate cuido mi motor y puedo llegar hasta 840 km más lejos cada año comparado con combustibles básicos y basado en un uso continuado de 13.000 km. Lógicamente los beneficios pueden varias en función del vehículo, estilo de conducción, condiciones del asfalto y otros factores. Tenéis toda la información en https://www.bepear.es En este vídeo te contamos que se puede decir que por su configuración y situación en el mercado el Porsche 911 no tiene rivales… pero sí lo tuvo. Renault primero con el A310 y luego con el A610 y la ayuda del turbo plantó cara a Porsche… ¿de verdad el Alpine estaba a la altura del Porsche? Vamos a verlo. #cochesclasicos #porsche911 #alpinef1 El 1961 apareció el Alpine A110 que consiguió ganar en la primera edición del Campeonato del Mundo de Rallyes para marcas, siendo ya un veterano, el 1973. En 1978 se dejó de fabricar el A110. El Porsche 911 nace en 1964 y sigue fabricándose hasta el día de hoy con el motor posterior como seña de identidad. Y al comenzar la década de los 70 llegan los sucesores… Conviértete en miembro de este canal para disfrutar de ventajas: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBG3pvXhocK7_GjeIx2sUeg/join Al A110 le sustituye en 1971 el A310, un diseño completamente nuevo, primero con motor 1,6 litros con culata Gordini y 127 CV y luego con el V6 de la generación PRV, de la que ya hemos hecho un video titulado “Comparativa V6, “Busso” vs. PRV.” Un motor que a pesar de sus 6 cilindros y 2,7 litros solo ofrecía 150 CV. Al primer 911 le sustituyó en 1973… otro 911. La llamada serie G, para muchos, entre los que me incluyo, el más bonito. Todos los Porsche contaban con el motor 6 cilindros bóxer refrigerado por agua. Un motor con muchas cualidades: Centro de gravedad bajo, ligereza y buena potencia, en la versión Carrera el motor era un 2,7 litros atmosférico para ofrecía 210 CV… bastantes más que el V6 usado por Alpine de “solo” 150 CV… el Porsche ofrecía un 40 por ciento más de potencia con un peso similar. Y en 1974 nace un mito, el Porsche 911 Turbo, el primero, con motor de 3 litros y 250 CV y poco después con 3,3 litros y ¡300 CV! Este nivel de potencia le permiten un nivel de prestaciones mucho más alto que el Alpine… hablamos ya de un ¡100x100 más de potencia! Era mucho. Y Alpine, de la mano de Renault, reaccionó. Reaccionó, pero ¡tardó años! Desde que aparece el Porsche 911 Turbo en 1974 hasta que aparece el Alpine GTA V6 Turbo en 1985 pasan 11 años. Soy un pesado, pero es que en modelos deportivos el motor PRV no lucía y pese al turbo y a sus 2,5 litros solo ofrecía 200 CV. Era el mismo motor, con ciertas adaptaciones, del R25. Y llega en 1991 un Alpine que ya pretendía estar a la altura, el A610 con motor Turbo que ya no era PRV sino PHV. ¿Y qué es eso de PHV? Pues un PRV evolucionado. No se podía cambiar el calado de los cilindros a 90 grados, pero si se modificaron las muñequillas para conseguir un encendido más regular, cada 120 grados, como si fuese un V6 a 60 grados… lo que debió de ser desde el principio. Y por fin nace el Alpine A610 turbo con el motor moderno, pero de 2.975 cm3 y 250 CV, una potencia que lo acercaba más a Porsche. En el bastidor se conservaba el tradicional chasis de viga central, como en todos los Alpine y muchos Lotus, pero muy reforzado. El motor obviamente sigue siendo trasero, pero muchos elementos o pasan delante o se adelantan, como la batería, la rueda de repuesto, la centralita del ABS… En 1988 aparece la tercera generación del 911, conocida como 964 y llega la re-evolución. Esta serie solo duraría 5 años, hasta 1993. Estéticamente era una “simple” evolución del primero, del G, con algunos detalles, pero pese al parecido estético, el coche era diferente en casi un 90 por ciento a su antecesor. Por ejemplo, destaca que en las suspensiones se cambian las barras de torsión por muelles helicoidales… todas las suspensiones son nuevas y la mejora es radical. El 911 Turbo de la tercera generación, conocida con la clave de 964 llegan en el mismo año que el Alpine A610 Turbo… ¿casualidad? Seguramente. Lo que sucede es que el 911 Turbo de esta generación ya llegaba a los 320 CV y pronto llegaría a los 3,6 litros y 380 CV. Pesaba más que el Alpine, se reparto de pesos era peor, pero sus prestaciones eran de infarto, con una máximo de 270 km/h y un 0-100 km/h de 5,3 segundos.

Nuestros amigos de Planeta De Agostini que nos apoyan en este vídeo, hacen colecciones que me “flipan”, han lanzado una nueva que, personalmente, no me la voy a perder: Una maqueta espectacular del R8 Gordini, con licencia oficial de la propia Renault y a escala 1/6… o sea, ¡enorme! Tiene detalles únicos, como el motor reproducido fielmente, que parece que va a echar a andar, una reproducción perfecta del habitáculo y una decoración y neumáticos fieles, muy fieles al original. Y como colofón… ¡luces con mando a distancia! Muchos detalles, piezas de alta calidad en metal y plástico ABS, luces… seguro que estás pensado: “Esto sería complicado de montar”. Ya soy un experto en estas colecciones y te digo algo: Montarlo no solo es muy divertido, sino que es realmente fácil. Solo tienes que seguir las instrucciones y no tendrás el menos problema. Y lo de la escala 1/6 algo inédito… quieres toda la info, en el texto descriptivo tiene el link: https://bit.ly/GordiniGarajeHermetico A ver cuanto sabéis de coches: ¿Qué tienen en común el Ferrari Mondial y el Renault 21? Aparte, ¡claro! de tener 4 ruedas, un volante y un motor… pensad un poco… (ruido de tic, tac) …pensad… pues que son probablemente los únicos coches de la producción mundial que montaron motores transversales y longitudinales… Por motivos distintos, eso sí. Os lo vamos a contar en detalle, es una historia que vale la pena. Os doy un aviso: Este es un podcast técnico, pero “apto para todos los públicos”. Si sabes mucho de coches, esta historia te va a gustar, aunque la conozcas… y si sabes poco, también te va a interesar, porque es muy curiosa. Aunque todos lo sabéis, para los “nuevos” diré que el motor transversal es aquel cuyo cigüeñal es trasversal a la marcha, es decir, forma un ángulo de 90 grados con el eje longitudinal… algo que popularizo el ingenioso Mini de Alec Issigonis. Lo pintamos en la pizarra… el motor delantero con tracción delantera. Si es longitudinal, hay varias opciones, pero si el coche es tracción delantera, suele estará “colgado” por delante del eje delantero. Pero es que un motor puede ser transversal y central a la vez, como era el caso del Lamborghini Miura, lo que permite hacer el coche más corto… o puede ser central longitudinal, como el caso de otro “mito”, el Ferrari F40. También puede ser longitudinal y colgado por detrás, como el caso de los Porsche 911 o los Renault 8… Nacido para ser un superventas -superventas a lo “Ferrari”- el Mondial fue un fracaso. Ferrari decidió intentar que este modelo ganase el favor del público y de la prensa y para eso hacían falta, al menos 300 CV. Ferrari tenía motores de esa potencia… pero no para montar de forma transversal. Así que en 1989 presenta el Ferrari Mondial “T”, una T que hacía referencia a “Trasversale” o sea, “Transversal” y cuyo motor iba longitudinal…pero la caja de cambios que iba montada de forma transversal, un sistema curioso que le dió bueno frutos a la saga de Ferrari T de F1, que se llamaban así por el mismo motivo. Este modelo montaba un motor V8, como hemos dicho longitudinal, de 3,4 litros y 300 CV que, entre otras cosas, permitía bajar el centro de gravedad del coche en 12 cm, gracias a que el motor, con cárter seco, podía ir más bajo… En el caso del R21 su mayor curiosidad es que se presentaron a la vez modelos con el motor transversal y longitudinal… ¡del mismo coche! ¿El motivo? Pues que el R21 era el heredero del R18, y se situaba a medio camino entre el R19 por abajo y el R25 por arriba. El R19 con motores de hasta 1,7 litros diseñados para ser montados transversalmente. Los motores más “gordos”, de dos litros, incluso siendo de 4 cilindros no cabían trasversalmente en la carrocería diseñada, por cierto, por Giorgetto Giugiaro, tenían que ir de forma longitudinal… Así que diseñaron dos subchasis distintos para poder montar unos motores, los “pequeños”, transversales y los otros, los “grandes” longitudinales. ¿Mejor transversal o longitudinal? Pues según. En el caso del Ferrari el Mondial “T” con motor longitudinal no solo era más potente, sino que a nivel de comportamiento ganaba mucho, gracias a un centro de gravedad más bajo. No era así en el caso del R21, porque el motor transversal mejoraba el reparto de pesos y además era más ligero. Los modelos más potentes, con un motor más pesado y “colgado” por delante del eje delantero eran más torpes. El “Quadra” era y es una excepción pues al contar propulsión posterior adicional, con unos reglajes de suspensión claramente más firmes y un más generoso calzado, era sencillamente, “otro coche”.

Os lo aviso… ¡este es un podcast raro! ¿Qué tienen en común un Audi Quattro, un Renault 12 y un Porsche 911?… ¡Que llevan el motor en el peor sitio posible! Colgando. Y no, no me refiero con el motor en el suelo, sino con el motor por delante del eje delantero o por detrás del eje trasero… donde en teoría no debería ir. Cuando era casi más un niño que un adolescente tenía dos iconos que me quitaban el sueño. Uno, que veía casi a diario, el R12. Mi otro icono era el Porsche 911, un coche del que estaba enamorado en ese momento… para mí era una estrella inalcanzable. Luego me hice mayor y otro coche me volvió a enamorar: El Audi Quattro, sobre todo las versiones de competición de Grupo B y sobre todo “La Bestia”, el Audi Quattro S1, acortado y con motores que llegaron según se dice a los 600 CV… La conclusión podría ser: Que tontos son los ingenieros que diseñaron estos coches y pudieron en motor ahí, donde destrozan el reparto de pesos y ofrecen un momento polar de inercia, para entendernos, una resistencia al girar, tremenda. Pues tiene su explicación. Pero para entenderla lo primero que hay que tener en cuenta es que un ingeniero no diseña según el humor, la idea o el pie con que se haya levantado esa mañana, sino que tiene un pliego de condiciones que tiene que cumplir. Y ese pliego de condiciones desde luego no lo prepara un ingeniero, sino un responsable de ventas, fabricación y marketing, que piden una cosa y la contraria y es el ingeniero el que tiene que intentar que todo lo que le piden sea posible… A la pregunta de ¿dónde debe ir el motor? La respuesta es, “según lo que quieras conseguir”. Es el momento de irnos a nuestra… “Pizarra Hermética”. Supongamos que queremos conseguir la máxima eficacia como coche deportivo. Obviamos, de momento, a los coches eléctricos. En un coche térmico las dos cosas que más pesan son el motor y los ocupantes, aunque sean solo dos. Lo ideal es que el peso vaya centrado, ligeramente cargando el tren posterior, y lo más bajo posible. Pero si lo que buscas no es estabilidad, sino espacio, lo mejor es poner el motor donde menos estorbe. Hasta que Alec Issigonis revoluciono todo con el Mini y su motor delantero transversal, cuando un ingeniero quería espacio interno para los pasajeros mandaba el motor lo más lejos posible. Eso significaba poner colgando por detrás, como hizo Dante Giacosa en 1957 en los Fiat 500 y después en los 600 y 850 o mandarlo al otro extremo, como hizo Audi en su primer Audi 100 de 1968 o Renault para su R12 en 1969. Comenzamos con los coches con el motor colgando por detrás del eje trasero y os recuerdo que ya hicimos un vídeo titulado “Coches todo atrás, porque son un peligro”. Pero vamos a recordar lo más interesante. El motor trasero hace que el comportamiento del coche sea delicado, en un primer momento le cuesta girar porque no tiene peso delante, pero luego una vez que gira como el motor trasero “tiende a seguir recto” hace que la trasera del coche se nos desmanda. La pregunta entonces es, ¿Por qué lo pusieron ahí? Es sencillo de entender, pero tienes que partir de una idea: Los neumáticos hasta digamos los años 80 y 90 no eran lo que son y la electrónica para ayudarnos en la conducción ni se la conocía si se la esperaba. Los coches eran mayoritariamente con el motor delantero y la propulsión posterior, con lo cual, a medida que aumentaba la potencia, la motricidad, la capacidad de pasar potencia al suelo, disminuía. Así que lo mejor era poner el motor encima del eje trasero. Esto no lo hizo solo Porsche ni fue la primera en hacerlo. Ya Tatra en 1934 lanzó en gran Tatra T77 con motor posterior, nada menos que un V8. Sus diseñadores fueron Hans Ledwinka y su hijo Erich… como curiosidad, te diré que ese coche tenía un CX de 0,212, que no superan ni de lejos los coches actuales. No me olvido del Audi Quattro. Pero es que el Quattro es un derivado del primitivo 100, del que se hicieron versiones más pequeñas y versiones Coupé y sobre un Audi Coupé, con motor turbo y tracción total, nace el Quattro. Y, por cierto, tampoco me olvido del Renault Fuego, un derivado del R18, por tanto, del R12 y con el motor “colgandero” ni de los Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint, entre otros. Renault usó está técnica en el R18 y luego, parcialmente, en el R21, que según el motor que llevase iba transversal o longitudinal por delante del eje trasero… que yo sepa en único coche que ofrecía ambas opciones. También en el R25 y en el Safrane. Audi siguió utilizando esta disposición en los 100 los 200 y todos sus derivados, incluido los Coupé y los citados Quattro. La cosa cambia en 1996 cuando aparece el Audi A3, en realidad un Golf vestido de Audi, pero obviamente con motor transversal.

The ecosystem of the NIEHS Worker Training Program includes stakeholders from both the training community and the technology community — Cell Podium, a WTP grant awardee being a company that bridges those two communities. Dr. Bandera will present two innovations for HAZMAT training — SensorSim and Virtex — and how this ecosystem facilitated their development and adoption. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (CDC NIOSH): Elizabeth Maples, Ph.D., will provide a brief overview of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) — an agency with a strong, diverse history of positively impacting worker health and safety. Her presentation will then focus on the NIOSH Training Portfolio that she manages: Education and Research Centers and Training Project Grants. She'll offer a glimpse into the diverse training, research, outreach, and continuing education programs that the NIOSH Training Portfolio has — perhaps leading to opportunities for collaboration.

University of Utah | Biological Hazard Site Training in Emerging Technologies (BioSTET) for Health and Safety: Biological hazards present an ongoing threat to occupational health, especially by workers during site cleanup. Research on emerging technologies has offered promising inroads to a creative and integrated resolution of these hazards. However, new academic coursework, as well as further advances in research, are needed. Darrah Sleeth, PhD., and Rod Handy, Ph.D., plan to address their role in solving that research gap on behalf of BioSTET, a collaborative effort between the University of Utah, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Montana Tech, and East Tennessee State University, with evaluation activities through the University of California, Los Angeles and Texas A&M University. The goal is to create continuing education (CE) and academic courses in emerging technologies specific to site biological health and safety.

Energy major gears up to roll out solar across retail sites as it marks South African centenary

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Energy group bp Southern Africa (bpSA) has set the expansion of its service station network in South Africa as a key priority as it moves to mark its centenary in a country where it first began operating on May 9, 1924. Communications and external affairs head Hamlet Morule tells Engineering News that bpSA intends rolling out 15 new sites during 2024, with ten sites currently in development, followed by a further 11 in 2025. Between R20-million and R25-million will be invested to build the new service stations, with the final price-tag dependent on the size of the site and its location, with far-flung sites generally costing more owing to the absence of readily available municipal services and access roads. The company already has more than 500 stations nationally and is now pursuing sites primarily on South Africa's major highways, as well as in high-growth urban nodes. Some of the sites will be developed by bpSA itself, while others will be dealer owned in line with its hybrid ownership model in South Africa. Morule says that, in parallel, the group will be piloting the roll-out of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, to enable stations to begin transitioning away from their current reliance on diesel generators for backup power during loadshedding and other outages. Four sites have been selected for a solar PV pilot, which will kick off soon, including sites in Cape Town and Durban, as well as two in Johannesburg. "Once the pilot is successfully completed, we will roll out to all bpSA-owned sites," Morule says, indicating that the deployment is also in line with the multinational group's commitment to transitioning towards net-zero by 2050. Power purchase agreements will be signed with solar service providers, which will install, operate, and maintain grid-tied hybrid facilities over agreed time horizons. In the rest of the world the multinational is investing heavily in the roll-out of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at its retail sites, but Morule says that is not an immediate priority in South Africa, where EV penetration remains low. All the new sites will include convenience stores that will house bpSA's own Wild Bean Café brand, as well as its current partner brands of Pick n Pay, Nedbank Greenback, SA Taxi, Discovery Insure and Vodacom. Morule says the group will also use its centenary to reinforce its commitment to Southern Africa, which some questioned when the mothballed Sapref refinery, which bpSA owns jointly with Shell, was put up for sale a few years ago. The sale process to the State-owned Central Energy Fund was disrupted by the April 2022 floods in KwaZulu-Natal, which caused major damage at the refinery, but a future disposal has not been discounted. The group's role in the region was also questioned after bpSA announced in 2023 that it had decided to exit all its aviation-fuel activities in South Africa, after the Airports Company South Africa entered into contracts with alternative domestic suppliers. Besides its retail business, bpSA remains a shareholder in black-empowered Masana Petroleum Solutions, which is focused on supplying fuels to large South African businesses and it also owns Castrol, which supplies lubricants across the region. The company employs 556 people, 56% of whom are women. "We've had a long history in South Africa and have a long-term vision to grow our retail business and to continue supplying fuels and lubricants, while transitioning from being an oil group to playing a role in the energy transition," Morule says.

This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. National Treasury has allocated Infrastructure South Africa (ISA) a budget of R600-million over three years to "prepare projects", says ISA head Mameetse Masemola. Addressing a media conference at Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa (Sidssa) 2024, held in Cape Town this week, Masemola explained that there had been a "decimation of the skills" required for State projects to reach financial close, and ultimately, procurement and construction. However, ISA now had R200-million a year to help prepare projects that were deemed strategic, that had a potentially high gross domestic product impact, and that would contribute to South Africa's competitiveness. In the past four months the number of projects under preparation within ISA had reached 31. "These were historical projects that had failed to get funding from National Treasury in terms of Treasury's budget facility for infrastructure," said Masemola. "We are now preparing to package these projects." These projects included schools infrastructure programmes in the Northern Cape and the Eastern Cape, as well as four tertiary hospitals - two in Mpumalanga and two in the Free State. There also projects in South Africa's special economic zones. "Form ISA's side we are supporting these in terms of bulk infrastructure so that we can unlock investment in the top infrastructure," noted Masemola. ISA's main aim was to close the infrastructure investment gap. Masemola noted that there was a significant gap between the funding available through the fiscus and the number of projects that required investment. "R5.7-trillion is required to close the investment gap by 2050." She added that ISA was pivoting its pipeline to public-private partnerships (PPPs), as expressed by the Minister of Finance. The South African Infrastructure Fund (SAIF) was part of ISA. It was created to facilitate blended finance infrastructure projects. SAIF chief investment officer Mohale Rakgate noted at Sidssa 2024 that this fund had been working with project owners from various sectors of the economy to identify projects that lend themselves to blended finance. "In our context blended finance refers to projects that cannot become bankable without fiscal intervention - meaning the private sector will not be attracted to build and finance these projects. "Where we come in is to structure these projects so that we can mobilise funding from National Treasury, and, on the back of that funding, invite the private sector to participate. "To date we have mobilised R25-billion from Treasury. "With that we can now go out to market and mobilise R70-billion of investment to fund the projects we have. We are now ready to engage investors." Projects in an advanced stage of implementation included social housing projects in Newcastle and Midrand; bulk infrastructure supply for a 30 000-housing unit project in Johannesburg; water infrastructure projects in Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal; and a project in partnership with the Department of Home Affairs to develop six ports of entry into South Africa to ensure efficiency in the movement of goods and people.

Labour activists slam recent minimum wage increase as ‘entrenching apartheid's cheap black labour'

The national minimum hourly wage increase from R25.42 to R27.58 entrenches apartheid's cheap black labour, says The Casual Workers' Advice Office (CWAO). The 8.5% increase, 2.5% higher than the latest inflation rate, came into effect this month. It was announced last month by employment and labour minister Thulas Nxesi. While Cosatu welcomed the hike, activists at the CWAO said that alone should “raise suspicions, given the federation's consistently anti-worker politics”. “The national minimum wage is not helping to lift affected workers out of poverty because few workers are receiving it. Worse, bosses are using the low minimum as an incentive to lower the wages of workers who have been earning well above it. The national minimum wage was never intended to challenge the system of cheap black labour. It was meant to entrench it,” it said.

South Africa's Finance Minister, Enoch Godwongdwana, is set to present the medium-term budget policy statement, bringing updates on economic forecasts, budget adjustments, and necessary spending changes. However, Stanlib's Chief Economist, Kevin Lings, warns that the upcoming mid-term budget won't bring good news. Lings, in an interview with Biznews, highlights a significant deterioration in South Africa's fiscal health since the February budget. He believes that the initial projections were overly optimistic, and government spending remains unchecked. Lings anticipates a R60 billion revenue shortfall and approximately R25 billion in overspending. He expresses scepticism about the government's ability to enact substantial changes to regain investors' trust. Lings rules out staff or salary cuts in the government and believes social payments won't be reduced during an election year. South Africa, he said, is heading in the direction of a fiscal cliff. Flags are going up and he urges the government not to wait for a crisis, as it did with Eskom, but to act proactively. Ling said the market is already concerned about these deteriorating fiscal parameters and the lagging tax revenue. If South Africa however can enhance its growth rate and eliminate load shedding, the country can attract substantial foreign investment.

Durante muchos años la mayor parte de los modelos de Renault tenían como nombre un simple número. Pero, a diferencia de otras marcas, en las que el número era una pista, en Renault el número despista. Así que vamos a repasar todos… del R3 al R900, ¿o no sabías que hubo un R900, una especie de monovolumen con motor V8? ¡Hoy nos vamos a divertir! Porque es cierto que en otras marcas la numeración te da una pista. Pongamos por ejemplo BMW. Sabes que el primer número te da una referencia de la categoría del coche, un serie 3 es más que un serie 1 y menos que un serie 5. Además, los impares son 4 puertas laterales y los pares 2. Y las dos siguientes cifras te orientan sobre la cilindrada… todo muy organizadito y muy alemán… algo parecido hace, por ejemplo, Mercedes-Benz. Pues en Renault resulta que un R15 es un deportivo y que un R16 es una berlina media. Un R10 es un tres volúmenes, pero el R9 es también 3 volúmenes, como el R12… pero en cambio el R11 es dos volúmenes… ¡Vaya lio! ¿O no? Pues la verdad es que no. Cierto que no hay una lógica “global” pero por el conocimiento de la marca y de los modelos lo cierto es que la inmensa mayoría de los casos nadie tiene ningún problema para saber de qué coche hablamos. Hay excepciones, como el R3 que no todo el mundo conoce, o el R7 que no lo hubo en todos los países, o los R15, R15 y R17 no muy conocidos en España. Y la estrella del video de hoy, el R900. Y empezamos, por orden ascendente y con una advertencia: NO hemos tenido en cuenta los coches de competición sobre todo los F1. ¡Vamos allá! R3 (1961), R4 (1961), R5 (1972), R6 (1968), R7 (1974), R8 (1962), R9 (1981), R10 (1965), R11 (1981), R12 (1969), ¿R12+1?, R14 (1976), R15 (1971), R16 (1965), R17 (1971), R18 (1978), R19 (1988), R20 (1975), R21 (1986), R25 (1983), R30 (1975) y R900 (1959) Conclusión. ¿Me he olvidado de alguno? Espero vuestros comentarios . Y en un próximo vídeo, los F1. Coche del día. Cualquiera me valdría. Confieso que cuando vi los primeros dibujos, ni siquiera eran fotos, de los R20 y R30 me enamoré de ese coche. Pero no, el coche del día es el R16, un coche que cuando le vi me pareció un R6 “grandote” y que cuando lo probé me enamoró… un TX tendría, sin duda, en mi garaje.

Casting Down the Dragon (6) (Audio) David Eells - 6/12/22 The Man-child & Bride Help the “Little Sister” Escape the Dragon   Claire Pienaar - 5/28/22  (David's notes in red)    I dreamed Riaan and I were in a large, walled city that was modern but completely run down. (Our names mean, “Little king” and “Brilliant, representing the Man-child and Bride. I asked the Lord who Riaan and I represent. My finger landed on Psalm 16:6 by faith at random: The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.)   There was no electricity, food, open shops or cars running. (This city represents worldwide Babylon who has a body of people who are already ruled by the beast. (In the natural their economy is crashing because it was crooked.) Spiritually, they have no power of the Holy  Spirit, no food of the Word, and they don't get anywhere in their spiritual walk.) All the city's inhabitants were sitting in an arena or  stadium in the middle of the city. It reminded me of the Roman Colosseum. In the “emperor's box”, there was a terrible emperor and his group of leaders. (The emperor represents the elite of the DS.) One of these leaders was a tall, stocky old woman with dark hair. (The dark haired woman in the emperor's box represents the Harlot, who rides the Beast.)  They all had the mark of a red dragon on the backs and front left pockets of their blazers, and their ties. (Representing being dressed up with the works of satan.) There were big banners of this red dragon all over the stadium. (The people are mere spectators [and pawns] to what the rulers of this institution say.).    Riaan and I (Representing the Man-child and Bride) were tasked with helping a young girl care for a newborn baby boy. (This young girl represents those who are coming out of the Babylonish, apostate Churches. She is the “little sister” of the Bride learning to care for her fruit of Christ in her represented by the newborn baby boy. Song 8:8-10  We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister  In the day when she shall be spoken for?) She had no confidence, authority, or knowledge on how to care for her baby. (The elect of God, who are stuck in apostasy, have not been taught by the false shepherds how to feed their new born spirit man. Psa. 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.)  She was placed in the center of the stadium and we had to help her, but not touch her. (Isa. 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; cleanse yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of Jehovah. And Jer. 15:19 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, that thou mayest stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall return unto thee, but thou shalt not return unto them.) She was thin and pretty and dressed in a white wedding dress. (She appears to be innocent but ignorant and passing through the apostate church system. The apostate Church considers themselves to be the Bride of Christ but they are not. Jesus is coming again for a spotless and blemishless Bride. God sees His elect as beautiful and in white because He sees the end from the beginning.).  She had a little veil over her face. (Because she is still veiled to the truth of who Jesus is. 2 Co. 3:12-18 Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, 13 and are not as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away: 14 but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed to them that it is done away in Christ.  (Being under the law of man separates from Christ, just like being under the law of God.) 15 But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart. 16 But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.) The crowd boo'd every time she did something right, so she was very confused at the mixed signals. She struggled to hear us and was really struggling to take care of her newborn boy, but she was making slow progress. (These mixed feelings represents the fight between the flesh and the spirit for the saving of the soul. It also represents the spiritual fight we have to go through to come against everything we've been taught in the Harlot system.).  It became apparent to me that this young girl's mother was the “Harlot" who was in the emperor's box. This mother had treated the young girl so poorly as a child and the young girl kept wanting to blame, shame or deflect all her bad habits and incompetencie's onto the dark haired mother “Harlot" in the emperor's box. (Many of God's elect don't want to take personal responsibility for their actions; instead they want to blame others. A lot of Christians point back to the Catholic Church as a mother of Harlots, not recognizing that they themselves are members of a daughter of the Harlot. As they mature, they can then see their own error.) Riaan and I were in an exclusive suite next to the stadium. Normally, these private suites are up at the top of the bleachers, but our suite was right next to the field on the ground level. (This represents that the Man-Child and Bride company have humility, and empathy with those who are God's elect; chosen to run the race and perform the work of growing their spirit-man). (Our little sister is our little sister, but some would make her their enemy. The hypocrisy is, that they came the same route through the Harlot.)  Riaan kept on telling this young girl to look up, and I kept on telling her to pray. (The real good news of the Gospel teaches us to look up at the sun/Son and get our eyes off of ourselves. Psa. 121:1-3 ...I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come? 2 My help cometh from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.) Eventually she saw her own self as the main problem and she started crying. Then she picked up the baby and loved it. (She recognized and appreciated her spiritual man.) Praise God! Riaan and I were so happy! (True repentance, and realizing the wickedness of the flesh that must be cut down to yield a greater love for the mystery of Christ in you, the hope of glory.)   At this point in the dream, Michael came in to our suite at the bottom of the stadium or arena. (I believe Michael in this dream represents Father, because his name means “who is like God?”).  He asked us what we did with the young girl and we gave him a full account of her as he took notes. We didn't know if it was a “good report” ...but both of us had clear consciences that we'd done what was required of us. Michael was nodding and smiling. (God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.) (Father has put the first fruits in places where we can help those whom He has chosen to come out from among them, and to realize the great mystery, “Christ in you, the hope of glory”).   The emperor decided then to kill us. A siren blast sounded, and everyone in the stadium heard an announcement that was read, which stated that Riaan and I were to be found and killed. I did not hear the siren or the message, but I did see the people taken over immediately by blood lust while they pursued us, and we had to run for our lives. (The dragon in Church and state desire to devour the Man-child and Bride. The more Christ-like a people becomes, the more “anti” or against them the antichrist is. The faction, represented by the terrible emperor, is a part of the Dragon who is trying to devour the Man-child and prevent him from helping the “little sister”. In our own situation, the leader of the faction tried to destroy our website and took down out videos, which were raising up and teaching the “little sister.”)  (They will persecute all those in the Man-Child and Bride companies for helping the “little sister" come out of their systems. They will, with one accord, be united against us.). (Rev. 12:13-17  And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child. 14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.) Everywhere we ran, we came up short. We ran into dead-end streets, closed doors, etc. Even though we wanted to escape, I knew in my mind, in the dream, that every other city would be similar to this, but it seems this one we were in was the worst. (Mat 10:23  But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.)  We ran to the west gate in this warehouse, and as we got there, a small army of men dressed in blue, boy-scout uniforms broke open the metal doors of this part of the city. For a second, I thought “Our liberators are here!” On their turquoise neckerchiefs they had the fish symbol and it said “Baptist State University City”. (Representing the immature, militant arm of apostate Churches.)  They were as well organized, if not better, than the leadership of the dragon city we were in. It dawned on me then that they were worse, because they used the name or symbols of the Lord to control people. They were no better than the leaders of the current dragon city, who were using the symbol of the dragon beast to control the people. (I asked the Lord who the blue and red uniformed people represent, and my finger landed on “You brood of vipers!” from Mat 3:7, (in context 7-10) 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: 9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.) I knew they were of the same beast because instead of hugging us, and getting us to safety, they immediately took out clipboards, and iPads, and were very official in their speech. It was like they were making sure they had all the right information from us before they would help us. (A person who is not filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word of God have as much in common with the world as they do with the Church because they are following their carnal reasoning.) These represent the organized apostate Church systems who's doctrine is salvation by good works.) It seemed they still had electricity and food because they looked well, and their uniforms were crisp, freshly pressed and clean. (All those  religious people who follow the mind of the flesh and the works of the flesh have the spiritual mark of the beast in the forehead and in the hand.) The men had white plaster painted on their faces like clowns. (Clowns are not real and they are foolish.) The plaster was so thick it looked like a mask, and I could not see their expressions. (As with all religious organizations, the pupils end up “masking” or mimicking their leaders.)  They were eery and kept looking at their iPad screens to determine if they could harbor us or not. (Looking at their computers for direction is like following the Beast.) Riaan and I were trying to be patient but it was really difficult. It did not appear that we'd be leaving with these men any time soon and, interestingly, the people from the stadium were not pursuing us with fervor any longer. (If the devil can't keep you from Christ, he will try to sidetrack you with religion.)    The scene changed and Riaan and I were now in our home, which I think was still in the dragon city. (We returned to the rest, because we realized that the red-dragons and the blue-boy-scouts could not help us escape.). (2Co 12:9  And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.) … Now we really needed to get to the airport because we were still fleeing the big dragon city. (Come out from among them and be ye separate.) (We must trust in abiding in Christ in the heavenlies and not in the works of men to save us from the beast or dragon kingdom).   The woman of a couple we knew offered to drive us to the airport in her white car. We travelled on the R25 highway, which becomes the P91 highway. (The P91 represents Psalm 91, which is abiding in the secret place of the most high). ... As we were driving with her, the sky became lighter and lighter even though it was during the night. At 11:11 pm according to the car's clock, the sky was bright blue and the sun was shining like it was midday. (111 is the number of the Man-Child birth. Even as we descend into greater darkness here in the natural, it means the Man-Child anointing is closer and almost here!). (When the sun is directly overhead there is no shadow cast. Pro. 4:18 But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.) None of us were tired. We were energized by seeing the sun/Son shine in the middle of the night. We said, “We'll just stay awake like it's daytime and catch up on sleep when the night comes.”. Then the dream ended.  (John 9:4  We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.) I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random, and I received Psalm 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.   Here is the whole story of the Dragon and the Woman: (David's notes in red)   Revelation 12:1-17 And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman (The Church whose position, but not manifestation, in Christ is) arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars; (The doctrine of the 12 disciples) 2 and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered. (This is Jesus manifested by Word and Spirit in a corporate Man-child body, just as all the other entities in this text are.) 3 And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems. (This is the first stage of the beast who is made up of the seed of all 7 world ruling kingdoms and all 10 continental divisions.) 4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth (The stars are the seed of Abraham by faith as God said. The tail is "the prophet that speaketh lies”.): and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. (This is happening now.) 5 And she was delivered of a son, a man-child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness (The Tribulation), where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (The first 3 1/2 years if the Tribulation.) 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. (He is being cast down now, He is losing his grip over the nations ruled by the DS Satanists who are being cast down by the Saints through the Alliance and spiritual warfare.)  10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him (The Saints who are exercising authority over satan that Jesus gave them.)  because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Church) that brought forth the man-child. 14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle (To overcome the world.), that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (The first 3 1/2 years if the Tribulation they are nourished by the Man-child just as Jesus did.) 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river (This is a river of lies just as we have a river of the water of truth.), that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.  (The worldly believe the lies)  17 And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:   The Dragon Surrounding Mt. Zion Claire Pienaar - 11/26/21 (David's notes in red) I received this vision as I drove home one day as I was approaching "our" mountain, behind which is the town we live in. (Spiritually, the Bride lives in the cleft of the rock, in the secret place of the Most High.) (The town where the Bride lives is Jerusalem or Zion.) In the natural, this mountain that is before the town has a big cross that is naturally engraved into it. We and other believers have noticed it and it provides much comfort to us when we drive back into town from the north or east. (This mountain represents the kingdom of the Church.) In the vision, I saw a dragon made of the clouds. It had two horns, a collar, and its tail was super thick and long. It was draped around the mountain, but I could still see the cross. (I believe the Lord is using us, our town, and the cloud-dragon as a parable.) (The Babylonish dragon has held the kingdom of the Church as a whole in captivity and is now trying to take dominion over Zion the Bride.This is the way it was in the Assyrian assault when they took over Israel but failed to conquer Zion.)  I asked the Lord what it represented and He said, “This is a very oppressive spirit over the town. It is trying to overtake all who live there. Use your sword.” (The Bride must do spiritual warfare to cast down the dominion of the Dragon.) I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random and received Eze. 30:25 with my finger on "Pharoah shall fall down”.  And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. (Pharoah was called a dragon in scripture too. Eze.  29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster (The word monster can be translated as dragon as in the KJV.) that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.) ... I am praying. We are at war, and we are victorious. Incidentally, we had praise songs playing all the way home, so we had already "sent the praisers out", as the children and I belted out the songs joyfully! (Praising the Lord for the victory already won by Jesus Christ will cast down the Dragon through our faith. 2 Ch 20:20-25 ... Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in Jehovah your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.  21 And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto Jehovah, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks unto Jehovah; for his lovingkindness endureth for ever. 22 And when they began to sing and to praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.  (God will faction the faction)   24 And when Judah came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, they looked upon the multitude; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none that escaped. 25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.)    Slaying Our Little Dragon Beasts Fio Galchenko - 6/5/2022 (David's notes in red)   My dream started with a 'crocodile like' body that my dad (Representing the Father) was teaching me how to control. (This represents our portion of the dragon that has been given us to conquer and that it is our flesh. The flesh is the enemy of God.) He showed me how to grab the mouth so it does not bite me and how to avoid its teeth. (We have to control the mouth or it will come back to bite us.) This crocodile like body then became a dragon that was human like. It was not an adult yet as the wings were not fully developed and the body was still covered with brown fuzz. (The dragon of Rev 12 is the body of all lost mankind.  The flesh is also lost.) We knew that this dragon was going to get dangerous if we let it live longer and grow bigger.  We needed to destroy him while he was still young. (Yes the flesh fights against us and wants to devour us.  We must put it to death daily so he doesn't grow to overcome us.) I would hold him by the back of the neck and his horns would poke and scratch at my hand as he twisted and tried to get free. (The flesh wants freedom but if it gets it, it grows out of control.) I told a nearby person to bring me my shotgun and he brought it but never loaded it.  I sent him back to get ammo while I wrestled with this dragon/human. (The shot is the words of God. It can't be killed without the promises represented by the ammo.) The dragon was upset that my two sons, Fio and Max, did not like him and that they were afraid or uneasy around him. (Our fruit of Christ; represented by the sons is our spiritual man and is at enmity with the flesh and just wants it gone. Gal. 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.) At this point the dream changed and the dragon was gone but some people brought to me a container filled with the dragon's blood. Then I woke up. (The death of our portion of the dragon frees the spiritual man. The blood of the flesh is full of the Adamic nature of sin that Jesus replaced with His blood.)   The Dragon's Witchcraft is Defeated Chuc Osegueda - 6/3/2022 (David's notes in red) (Chuc, means "to throw something out or away" representing the righteous who war with the swamp and drain it.). I dreamt that I was driving down an empty and deserted highway in a dune buggy. (The Highway of Holiness has been deserted by the majority of Christianity. Only the First fruits are currently traveling it. A dune buggy is mobile in sand, which is God's identification for the seed of Abraham, the Christians.) I then saw an old woman with long grey hair. (As we will see, this is a factious witch that was recently exposed and left UBM.)   She was throwing some strange and unique looking ninja stars. (Ninja stars are one of the ninja's primary defensive weapons used as delaying tactic, although this woman was using them to kill and cause harm). (The factious people are throwing their witchcraft curses at the righteous and their slander is to bring anyone who fails the test of love and truth to spiritual death with them.) This old woman was throwing these stars for practice in an area that I would describe as a mini golf course, but for ninja star throwing practice. There was a little girl who was fetching the stars for the woman after she would throw them. (This represents those immature in obedience and faith who have been among us who ended up being accomplices before they left. Thank God this process of cleansing out the tares is coming to an end.)  As I crept past them, I realized this woman was a factious witch who left UBM.  (Her name represents "accusing others of wrong doing".  The Devil is the accuser of the brethren and he has lots of helpers. She is just a symbol of the witchcraft that is in all of the faction.)  I crept in between them, and what looked like a tennis ball shooter but was actually a ninja star shooter.   I drove past her and kept going down the empty highways, and I noticed a stray ninja star on the ground. The star had sharp blade edges like a normal ninja star, but was shaped like a military vehicle with blades surrounding it. (They are very militant like the Faciast Nazi's in church and state who try to force their will, hatred, slander, and corruption on others. This is a test to see who will chose faithfulness to the Word, Jesus.)   I grabbed the ninja star and continued to drive, and then noticed that the factious witch was behind me facing me. I turned around in the vehicle to face her, as the dune buggy was still rolling down the highway.  The witch was aware that I picked up her stray weapon (the ninja star)  and she then whipped a ninja star at me with precise aim. (We had dreams where the factions own weapons or curses were being thrown back at them by the angels who are our ministering spirits. The Lord said, “I will curse them that curse thee”. We cannot send our own curses but every trap they lay they must fall into it as scriptures say.  i.e. they must reap what THEY sow.)  I tried to dodge this star, but it did hit me on my right shoulder, however I was unaffected. (As we mature in warfare "we are not ignorant of satan's devices” and become immune to them through exercising repentance and faith in the Word. Jesus gave us "all authority" over their curses to “Bind” them. As the Lord showed us, our guardian angels will throw their weapons and traps back on them.)  I seemingly absorbed the star and it did not harm me. I whipped (her own) ninja star back at her and it hit her (this is all happening as the dune buggy is still rolling down the highway and I am turned around to face her). (Atta boy Chuc. :o) She then whipped another star at me with precision, but I don't remember if it hit me. By this point, it didn't matter because I was not hurt by her attacks, although she appeared very skillful at what she was doing. I whipped another star at her and hit her in the center of her chest (heart) or the center of her forehead, but I cannot really recall exactly which. I believe she was hit in the chest area (heart). (Both the heart of evil and mind of flesh are symbolized here.) The witch and I were now in a more confrontational position which is on a sidewalk curved to the right and I was out of the vehicle.  (Witchcraft cannot prosper against us when we are in the “right". Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, saith Jehovah.)   Then l saw a large video screen display on the outer edge of the bend (like what you see in Times Square NYC).  I punched the witch in the face in retaliation against her assaults on me (which seemed strange for me to do because I wouldn't punch a woman, let alone an old one in real life.) (To deface someone is to change peoples view of them.  Declass of their sins is doing just this by revealing their sins to the world.  This is happening in the world with the factious DS just as it is happening in the Church with our own faction.)  The little girl was still with her, but she had aged a bit in that time and she was now older, but still a young girl. (Perhaps some of the accomplices will mature a bit as they see the loss of the faction. We have dreams where this happened.) I waved my right hand in front of the witch, and she became just a video image on the screen, as if she was sent there and was now stuck and could no longer cause anyone harm. ("That passeth away" came to me.  Isa 29:5  But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly. And Jer 13:24  Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passeth away, by the wind of the wilderness.  And  Hos 13:3  Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passeth early away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney. Words just received by faith at random: Psa 94:1-11  O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.  2  Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud their desert.  3  Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?  4  They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.  5  They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage.  6  They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless.  7  And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider.  8  Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?  9  He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?  10  He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, Even he that teacheth man knowledge?  11  Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity. Psa 118:12-17  They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.  13  Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; But Jehovah helped me.  14  Jehovah is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation.  15  The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.  16  The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.  17  I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Jehovah. I asked the Lord for a Word about the faction and put my finger down in the middle of Psa 109, which is a curse not from us but from God on the factious. Psa 109:1-31  A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;  2  For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit have they opened against me: They have spoken unto me with a lying tongue.  3  They have compassed me about also with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.  4  For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer.  5  And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love.  6  Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand.   7  When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.  8  Let his days be few; And let another take his office. (They are Judas')   9  Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow.  10  Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; And let them seek their bread out of their desolate places.  11  Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let strangers make spoil of his labor. (They use their position while they are with you to steal from you with deception for they have no faith God will help them.)  12  Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children.  13  Let his posterity be cut off; In the generation following let their name be blotted out.  14  Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.  15  Let them be before Jehovah continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth;   16  Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them.  17  Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.  18  He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones.  19  Let it be unto him as the raiment wherewith he covereth himself, And for the girdle wherewith he is girded continually.   20  This is the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, And of them that speak evil against my soul.  21  But deal thou with me, O Jehovah the Lord, for thy name's sake: Because thy lovingkindness is good, deliver thou me;  22  For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.  23  I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.  24  My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness.   25  I am become also a reproach unto them: When they see me, they shake their head.  26  Help me, O Jehovah my God; Oh save me according to thy lovingkindness:  27  That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, Jehovah, hast done it. (Their leaders tell them that their curse is our fault but “the curse that is causeless alighteth not”.) 28  Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, they shall be put to shame, But thy servant shall rejoice.   29  Let mine adversaries be clothed with dishonor, And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.  30  I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude.  31  For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from them that judge his soul. (Luk 6:37 And judge not, and ye shall not be judged: and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: release, and ye shall be released.)   Worldwide Shakings/Satan Cast to Earth/144 Thousand Revealed Outpouring Gates YouTube - 6/4/22 (David's notes in red)   The Lord gave me two single words. He said, “World - Shaking.” I don't have a time-frame on this; I don't know when, but what I can  say is: This IS coming… I saw these two words and then I was taken in a vision and I'm going to try to describe the best way I can. It was like an epic movie, but a thousand times more intense.  I saw the whole of planet earth from space and it was shaking. At first It wasn't a violent shaking, but… it was just rumbling really hard. …and there were cracks happening throughout the world, dispersed in diagonal patterns, horizontal patterns, and vertical patterns. And as I was watching, I was like, “How does anybody survive this?” It became so violent. ... This was a worldwide earthquake. (Even though He's interpreting many of the events in the vision literally, I believe this worldwide shaking will be a time of spiritual shakings for the elect of God. We know from scriptures that there will be many violent earthquakes when Jesus returns in His Man-child reformers.) The cracks were going through the oceans and land. (the Bible says that oceans or seas represent, peoples, tribes, nations and tongues.) It did not matter. It was just obliterating everything. The whole earth was in an earthquake. ... (It will literally be by the grace of God that people survive this thing because the earth shook so hard that the cracks were like miles wide, it seemed like.) (The DS has seismic weapons and according to dreams they will use them. Insiders in the war against DS have warned to expect the largest earthquakes we have ever seen. We have shown that their fracking has a pattern, sometimes in a straight line across the country for the purpose of steering their earthquakes. Also, there will be a spiritual shaking for the elect people of God leading to a great revival.) From my vantage point from outer space, I thought, “That kind of crack would cave in parts of oceans. Oceans would just start to dive into these cracks." ... So then, as I'm looking directly at planet earth, out of my right periphery, I'm watching Planet X come, and it was so big. This planet was massive, and it was pitch-black ... but it had these red ...cracks in it and it seemed like it wasn't solid, but it was. (It is dark because the face towards us would be blocking the Sun rather than reflecting it.  Planet X was called by the Egyptians the destroyer and sometimes it was called the dragon because of its appearance with a tail. It appears to have brought the Passover and Red Sea judgments. The X means, “10” which is the number of the Law and judgment. We know from History that this is a literal planet and that God will use it for judgments described in scripture.) The atmosphere of this planet was so thick with black darkness as it came past the earth... so very quickly; in a moment. …There was this big transfer of black mist from the planet to the Earth. But it was really just demons… transferring to the earth really quickly. (Demons don't need a planet to live on for they are spirits but they could use this occasion of darkness to spread their alien deception and they could be cast down to the earth here too. Representing satan cast to the earth.) Then... the scene changed and these demons were in cities and they were flying. They appeared as bat... demons. They had weapons and spears. ... As these demons were ... attacking people, I saw these saints ...flying in the air behind them and they were hovering high above where these demons were attacking the people. (This represents the Saints, meaning sanctified ones, are warring in heavenly places against demon forces. The First fruits will be anointed with power from on High to war against satan and his demons.  Rev. 12:7-12 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. … 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12 Therefore  rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.) The saints were like super heroes without the cape. … (This reminds me of a dream Garrett Crawford had where once the anointing was poured out on the saints, they looked like superheroes…)   The Anointing of the First-Fruits Garrett Crawford - 07/24/2008 (David's notes in red) I would like to share a dream I was given within days/weeks of finding UBM in the fall of 2006. I was standing in a plain (wilderness) all by myself. I looked off into the distance and I could see someone or something coming toward me. As it got closer I could make it out as a cloud. Within seconds it was right beside me and on this cloud sat a messenger from God. He had an invitation for me; it was in the form of a large golden telegram that was reminiscent of the golden tickets in the Willy Wonka movie. (A ticket to visit a wondrous land.) He said this was an invitation to attend a revival that was taking place in the mountains of the Yukon. (Meaning great river, i.e. of the waters of life.)   As soon as I took the golden invitation I found myself high above the Earth, flying over North America to the far left corner of the continent. This only took a matter of seconds as I flew thousands of miles across the nation and found myself at the foot of a snowy white mountain. I began to walk up this mountain and as I walked I looked down and saw that I had no shoes on! (We are to climb the kingdom of God, which in Dan.2:44 is a mountain. God demands we take off our shoes when we are on holy ground so that we are not separated from His holiness.)  I could not believe it! I had no shoes, walking in the snow but my feet were not cold at all so I kept walking up the mountain. After a long trek up, I made it to a stream and began to walk through the stream that flowed from the top of the mountain. (Walking in the rivers of the waters of life, the Word of God, that cleanses our walk.) There were large square stones that were placed in the middle of the stream for me to walk on. These stones were crafted and had a decorative border on them. (The foundations laid by the Apostles and Prophets.) They were massive in size -- must have weighed tons for just one of them. I continued to walk on these stones until I made it to the beginning of the stream in a small clearing at the top of the mountain. (The source of the "river of the water of life" is "the throne of God and the Lamb", as Rev.22:1 says.) On top of the mountain I saw a group of people who were standing on the bank of the stream. They were all lined up in a straight line and something very, very supernatural was happening to them. (These are the first-fruits to be anointed with the latter rain at the beginning of the tribulation. (Rev.14:1) And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand (The Man-child Body), having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. {4} These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These [are] they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, [to be] the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb.)  Something was being poured on them from the heavens. (The coming of the Lord in His people through the Latter Rain. Hos.6:3 ... He will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.) It was like water that glittered and shown brightly. It was so glorious. It seemed that the water was actually liquid glory. (2 Cor.3:18) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.)  As I watched, each one of these people receiving this water was transformed into a more powerful being receiving his own special gift. I even saw one grow what seemed like angel-type wings. (Ability to move supernaturally by translation. They will be able to pass these gifts on to disciples, as Jesus did. Phillip translated.) I know this sounds crazy but they resembled superheroes. (More like "Christ in you the hope of glory".) Then I fell on my face and starting praising God. Next I heard one call out to the rest, "The world hates us now! They hate us! “ (Jn.15:18) If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] you.   He seemed very troubled by this. I got this feeling that this hatred came on so quick that he could not understand why it was happening. That is when I was given the understanding that these people were to be sent back out into the world with their power and gifts to overcome the world. (Just as their Master, who was a type of them, did.) That is when I became bold and full of faith and said back to him in complete confidence, "Why do you question this? Did not the Master tell us this was supposed to happen? The world is supposed to hate us". (This is the beginning of the great revival at the beginning of the tribulation.) End of dream. Back to the Outpouring Gates vision: And then... I saw an insane overtaking. … The demons did not see the saints coming. They ... were flying ...in groups. It was like a wave ...overtaking all these demonic powers. They were clearing them out. And as I was watching this, I heard the Lord say, “Clearing out the mess.” And then the Lord began to speak to me, after coming out of the vision... and He said, “Salvation to the people will take place.” He said, “I will be their Savior again. I will reveal My 144, 000 to the world. (The 144,000 in Rev 14 are the Man-child body in Rev 12.)  They will be ready, purposed, and trained.” He said, “ 'Justice League' is their true purpose. My justice will flow through them. Healings will happen. Powers never seen before will be taking place.”  Then God took me into another vision after He said this (This is a spiritual parable) …and I saw this little Caucasian girl, in regular clothing, with blonde hair who was a part of the 144,000, and with her itty bitty little finger, she was swirling this massive thunderstorm; rotating it. …It looked like a thunderstorm, but it was also a tornado... at the same time. And as she was doing this, ... the clouds that started swirling at her finger, went up to the sky. (We must rightly divide the Word. This is spiritual not physical. The little blonde girl represents a small body of people. A body of people are often symbolized as feminine in scripture like the body of the Church and Bride and the Harlot, even though many of these people are male in the natural. So a body of physical men can be represented spiritually as female to demonstrate good principles. Female here represents they are able to receive the seed of the husband in fertile ground as in the parable of the sower who bore fruit 30, 60, 100 fold. Females bear fruit. Hair is a sign of submission in 1 Co 11.  Blond hair represents submitted to the sun/Son, which is blonde. He also is our husband because we only receive His seed, which the parable of the sower says is His Word. The harlot received the seed which was not that of our husband but the world, even though many of them are physically men. This Caucasian, representing white or pure, girl represents spiritually a corporate body of the First fruits Man-child body of 144,000 even though literally some of these are physically black men. The thunderstorm represents the power and authority that will come with the former and latter rain anointing on the Man-child. They are physically a MAN-child because only men are permitted to "teach or take authority over the man" in New Testament scripture. Jesus only chose men to take a position like this in the 12 and the 70 and as Bishops or overseers in the rest of the NT scriptures. Man-childs have been identified all through the scriptures as men, Moses, David, Joseph, Daniel, Ezekiel, Jesus, etc, etc. We must never add to or take from the precedent of scripture or we are brought under the last curse in the Bible.) And …there was a demon way over to the right who did not notice what was going on. She then sent the thunderstorm with her finger, and the demon looked at it and was in shock and was overtaken by this thunderstorm and was sent flying like hundreds of miles away... When I saw this, I was like, “Whoa! This is a little girl! She's a part of the 144,000, that's cool.”… (In this parable she represents all of the Man-child. The Bride, who were submitted to the Man-child Jesus, were spiritually identified by John the Baptist as Jesus' first disciples who were all men physically. He said, “He that hath the Bride is the bridegroom.") Then the Lord took me out of that vision and that was the end of it and the Lord said this, “Seek Me for more of this revealed. (Which we have done)  I will do great, awesome acts of My glory to showcase I Am the I Am.” He said, “Have faith and know I Am Who I Am and have not given Satan the control. Leave the world, stick with Me. I have plans not one has thought of.” And that was the end of that word...      Select LanguageAfrikaansAlbanianAmharicArabicArmenianAzerbaijaniBasqueBelarusianBengaliBosnianBulgarianCatalanCebuanoChichewaChinese (Simplified)Chinese (Traditional)CorsicanCroatianCzechDanishDutchEsperantoEstonianFilipinoFinnishFrenchFrisianGalicianGeorgianGermanGreekGujaratiHaitian CreoleHausaHawaiianHebrewHindiHmongHungarianIcelandicIgboIndonesianIrishItalianJapaneseJavaneseKannadaKazakhKhmerKinyarwandaKoreanKurdish (Kurmanji)KyrgyzLaoLatinLatvianLithuanianLuxembourgishMacedonianMalagasyMalayMalayalamMalteseMaoriMarathiMongolianMyanmar (Burmese)NepaliNorwegianOdia (Oriya)PashtoPersianPolishPortuguesePunjabiRomanianRussianSamoanScots GaelicSerbianSesothoShonaSindhiSinhalaSlovakSlovenianSomaliSpanishSundaneseSwahiliSwedishTajikTamilTatarTeluguThaiTurkishTurkmenUkrainianUrduUyghurUzbekVietnameseWelshXhosaYiddishYorubaZulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

Coches incomprendidos: Renault Fuego, ¿éxito o fracaso?

Seguro que os acordáis del vídeo “Deportivos generalistas, garantía de fracaso”. Y es que con, excepciones, siempre es así. Y en ese vídeo incluía el Renault Fuego como fracaso, lo que creó una oleada de protestas por vuestra parte… Tantas, que he elegido este modelo para inaugurar este formato de “Coches incomprendidos”. Renault quería un coupé. A pesar de su presencia exitosa en competición, del empleo del turbo en sus coches y de su experiencia en pequeños coupés, como el Floride, los R15 o R17 o el propio Alpine, Renault no tenía el prestigio de otros fabricantes europeos como Alfa Romeo o BMW entre otros. Y pensó que tener un coupé la ayudaría a conseguirlo. Opron, de Citroën a Renault. Para mí Robert Opron es el mejor diseñador de coches francés que ha diseñado coches como el Citroën Ami 6, el DS, el SM, el GS y el CX… Otros coches suyos fueron el Simca 1.100/1.200, los R9 y R11, el R25 y el denominado, “Il Mostro”; el Alfa Romeo SZ, pero es que también es el diseñador de otro de mis coches favoritos, el Alpine A310. Y, además, del Renault Fuego. La pregunta clave es: ¿Os gusta la estética del Renault Fuego? A mí, mucho. Creo que Opron tiene, como diseñador, una virtud que valoro especialmente: Sus diseños son muy personales, muy “de autor” y saca mucho partido a lo que tiene. Diseñar un coupé con el motor delantero en voladizo es complicado. Debut, éxito y “pinchazo”. En el Salón de Ginebra de 1980 se presenta en sociedad el Renault Fuego y el éxito es inmediato en Europa y Norteamérica. Al año siguiente se convierte en el Coupé más vendido en Europa. La cosa prometía. Renault se vino arriba. Y en el Salón de París de 1982 para mi cometió un error: Presentar el Fuego TD que no gustó al mercado. Además, la publicidad no fue muy acertada, con una foto del Fuego TD boca abajo se decían tres cosas, no sé cuál menos oportuna: 1. “Un Diesel que pone patas arriba la carretera”. ¿Qué quiere decir esto? 2. “Un coupé único en el Mundo”, sí, pero para mal. Por mucho turbo que tuviese, arrancar un coupé y que suene a Diésel de los ’80, en general no gustaba. 3. “El Coupé Diésel más rápido del Mundo”, lo que era falso, porque ya en 1977 Mercedes tenía un Coupé, el 300 CD Turbodiésel, que era más rápido. Fuese por esto, por cansancio del público, pero no era nada deportivo o por lo que queráis, las ventas del Fuego en Europa y en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica, cayeron en picado. ¡El patito se convierte en cisne! Para pasar de “patito feo a cisne” el Renault Fuego tuvo que emigrar. El Fuego, como ya he dicho, se comenzó a fabricar en Europa en 1980 y su producción cesó en 1985. Pero en Argentina comenzó su producción a finales de 1982 y se prolongó nada menos que 10 años, convirtiéndose en un coche de referencia. ¿Qué pasó para que en Argentina este modelo consiguiera un éxito que no tuvo en Europa, o lo tuvo poco tiempo? 1. La filial de Renault en Argentina no se limitó a seguir fabricando el coche, sino que lo evolucionó con diversas motorizaciones de hasta 2,2 litros y muchas mejoras. 2. En Argentina y en América en general, los competidores del Fuego eran otros, generalmente coches de importación más caros. Hablamos de un coche que, en Argentina, era de fabricación nacional. 3. La competición creo que fue muy importante en un país con tanta afición por el automóvil. Este coche ganó muchos campeonatos argentinos en la categoría Turismo Competición 2000 gracias, sobre todo, a Oreste Berta, un preparador muy ligado a la filial argentina. Y ahora, ¿qué? Como clásico, aquí en España, este coche, no como todos los coupés de marcas generalistas, sino incluso más que otros, ha sido despreciado por los aficionados. Pero esto ha cambiado por varios motivos, uno es que comienza a ser un coche escaso y otro, que en mi opinión es un coche que ha envejecido bien, es un coche que en este momento resulta incluso más llamativo y bonito que lo era en su tiempo. Conclusión. Honestamente, la trayectoria del Fuego en Europa puede calificarse más de fracaso que de éxito. Pero en Sudamérica yo diría que, todo lo contrario. Pero, si entendemos lo que es, un coche práctico, bonito, un coupé con nulas o escasas pretensiones deportiva, es un buen clásico, porque era un coche muy fiable. Y un diseño espectacular de Opron. Coche del día. Voy a elegir un Renault Fuego, pero una versión especial con un Kit de preparación que desarrollo el preparador argentino Berta y que elevaba la potencia a 178 CV. Este Renault Fuego GTX Berta Grupo 2 incluía muchas modificaciones, no solo en el motor, sino en frenos, suspensiones, ruedas incluso aerodinámicas. La verdad es que el coche por fuera cambiaba muy poco, pero raspaba los 210 Km/h y aceleraba sobre 1.000 m. desde parado en poco más de 30 segundos. Unas prestaciones muy serias.
